About our coloured bath resurfacing in Farnham

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Farnham customers choose us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

When to call us in Farnham

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Farnham

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover Farnham?

We do. Technicians travel to Farnham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
